Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning a visit to Varanasi
to launch an eco-friendly project of solar powered boats. The Prime Minister
will be touring Uttar Pradesh after kicking off this project and will introduce
a few of his other initiatives in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh.

Here is a lowdown on Modis eco-friendly mission in Uttar
Pradesh:

The prime minister will be arriving at the Babatpur airport
in a special aircraft and then go to Varanasi to launch the solar boats project

The project is said to help in solving the problem of severe
water pollution in the Ganga River

Varanasi is also Modis very own Lok Sabha constituency and
this is his third visit since January

After Varanasi, the PM will be going to Ballia in eastern Uttar
Pradesh to launch the Pradhanmantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY)

The PMUY scheme aims to provide free LPG connections to
about five crore families living below poverty line across the country

From Ballia, the prime minister will fly back to Varanasi,
where he will preside over a function to distribute 1,000 e-rickshaws

PM Modi will then visit Jnana Pravaha, a centre of
cultural studies and research in Samne Ghat area

The centre was founded in 1997 by city-borne philanthropist
Bimla Poddar, who was conferred with Padma Shri last year

The Jnana Pravaha boasts of a museum with rare artefacts
belonging to ancient and medieval ages

The prime minister will thereafter, head to the Assi Ghat on
river Ganga, where he will launch the 11 solar-powered 'e-boats'
